Hi All,
Looking at fees for Business sellers and have searched the ebay web site and there is a lot of conflicting information
https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/selling/fees-credits-invoices/fees-business-sellers?id=4809
This has several levels (i have copied the top cell).
Elsewhere on the site I have seen £19.99 + 5%.
I tried the ebay help bit but really not very useful at all.
Can someone confirm the actual fees for a Business account?
Thanks

Those are the correct fees for eBay shop levels plus VAT
The £19.99 is a fee for a private seller shop

Thanks for the information.
Would the Private Seller Shop avoid the new 75p fees?
Or do you need a full Business Account at £27 per month?
Thanks

Fees are based on account type. All private accounts will be subject to the buyer protection fees for buyers.
Shops and businesses are not the same thing. A business seller has to have an ebay business account, they do not have to have a shop.

Thanks you but Still confused.
In order to avoid Buyers having to pay the 75p Buyers Fee
what account would one need?
Thanks again

You would need a business account in order for your buyers to avoid the new fee.
Your buyers would not have to pay the new buyer protection fee of 4% + 75p per item if you had a business account. You would have to pay fees though. You would not have to have a shop (as has already been stated) but you would pay a listing fee for each item and a seller's fee every time you sold an item.
If you are trading (buying to sell), you should have a business account and a legal 'any reason' returns policy.

Thanks.
So having an Ebay Shop does not make you a Business.
Most items I sell are personal collections but do sell some items not wanted.
But looking to avoid the fees so will look to set up a Business account.
Just confused as I thought having a Shop would make you a Business.
Will try and find how to become a Business Account
Thanks again.
